Description

This online course is designed for engineers and technicians from a wide range of abilities and backgrounds and will provide an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. It commences with a review of psychrometric charts and then examines the factors that influence design choices, indoor air quality, load calculations and heating/ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Numerous tips and tricks throughout the recorded presentations make the course very practical and topical to your applications.

YOU WILL GAIN

Maintain and troubleshoot HVAC systems

Understand and apply the psychrometric chart

Instructor

Behrouz Ghorbanian

Behrouz has completed degree courses in Telecommunications and Electrical Engineering overseas. He also completed his studies in Electrical Utility Engineering at Curtin University in 2004. Behrouz started his career in the oil and gas industry where his role got him involved in the maintenance and repair of electronic and navigational marine equipment (VHF and SSB radios, Sat Nav, engine control panels etc). He then moved to the power industry and was involved in the design, installation, and commissioning of substations mainly for consultancies and utilities. He has also established a good reputation in teaching power system protection over his long term services lecturing at Curtin University, and also over the period he worked as a Protection Engineer in New Zealand.

Over the past years, Behrouz has been involved in many major projects across Australia (Port Hedland, Barrow Island, Tamar Valley, Karratha, and Newman for example). His most recent experience is related to cost estimation and risk assessment of major substation projects with a special focus on the secondary systems (Protection, COMMS, SCADA). He has also worked as an Engineering Manager and Senior Project Engineer on major copper mine projects overseas. Behrouz has also gained good knowledge in substation design, HV cables sizing and installation, transmission system design, earthing system design and applications, and power system protection design and applications.

He has served in the Royal Australian Navy and worked for a number of businesses in capacities as diverse as engineering trades, professional engineering and management.

Shane is trade qualified in fitting and machining, and diesel mechanics. He has operator certification in naval auxiliary machinery and is professionally qualified as a Mechanical Engineer. Shane has also attained recognition as a Chartered Professional Engineer and is registered on the National and Queensland Professional Engineers Registers.

Formerly a Manager of Metlabs Queensland Branch for Leighton Ltd and a Business Unit Manager for PearlStreet Ltd, Shane now operates his own business consulting and service providing to clients across Australia.

Shane has extensive hands-on experience in mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and has specialised in reliability engineering, lubrication, lubricants and machine condition assessment.

John has completed many years of further education including developing, writing and delivering many work based courses and seminars. He has spent 10 years as a part time teacher at TAFE in electrical engineering, and 15 years delivering structured courses in thermography, power quality, instrument safety, motor drive theory, PLC, SCADA, and pest inspection.
